When Stars Collide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798290185385)

They were never supposed to be friends-let alone fall in love.

Crissy Tran is loud, brilliant, and proudly out. She's the captain of her high school speech and debate team and used to being the smartest person in the room. Bella Torres is a quiet, reserved softball star who's never quite figured out how to say the things that matter most-especially about herself.

Thrown together on a group project, the two girls strike up an unlikely friendship that turns into something... more. Between stolen glances, fierce loyalty, and a spin-the-bottle kiss that changes everything, Bella and Crissy must navigate first love, deep fear, and the storm of emotions that come with growing up and coming out.

But high school isn't built to make things easy. Gossip spreads. Friends get jealous. Hearts get hurt. And Bella isn't sure she's ready to be seen-even if Crissy already sees her better than anyone ever has.

When Stars Collide is a heartfelt sapphic coming-of-age romance filled with messy feelings, late-night stargazing, and the quiet bravery of choosing each other-again and again.
Perfect for fans of:

• High school LGBTQ+ love stories
• Slow-burn friendships-to-lovers
• Debate team Meets softball girl energy
• Big emotions, real drama, and all the heart
